More more more! I've got a list of things to do with my son when he gets older (he's only 2) and this is near the top

Oh yes, more please.
This is definitely on my Bucket List along with Le Mans Classsic with my boy (boy? he's in his late twenties!) and is somewhere in France now. But then so is getting me and him to Bathurst.
It's a bloody big bucket!

More more more! I've got a list of things to do with my son when he gets older (he's only 2) and this is near the top More photos won't be a problem It is a very nice event and a wonderful atmosphere, although I actually prefer the Spa 6 Hours in september.... Equally cool cars, the 6-hours startingfield is just massive (as in "+100 cars, which start lining up on the old start-finish line and there are cars almost to the new start-finish"). But most of all, it's even more accesible as a visitor: the first couple of years the new pitwalls were okay to stand and I even blagged my way to the inside of the La Source hairpin without photo-credentials... The last two-three years things are getting stricter (as more people visit), but still okay to pics the mechanics brains while they are rebuilding the gearbox of a Group C-racer...so no reason to be complaining I guess Oh yes, more please. This is definitely on my Bucket List along with Le Mans Classsic with my boy (boy? he's in his late twenties!) and is somewhere in France now. But then so is getting me and him to Bathurst. It's a bloody big bucket! On my bucketlist are Le Mans Classic, V8 Supercars @ Bathurst and Goodwood Revival or Members Meet still not crossed off.... LM and Goodwood aren't to spendy living in Belgium, but a ticket to Australia is slighty more so.... (and for you the exact opposite I guess )

So back in 2012, we had this: P1500483 by G C, on Flickr P1500484 by G C, on Flickr They also showed multiple ex-"Ecurie Francorchamps" cars, the team which Jacques Swaters (who became the Belgian Ferrari-dealer later on). A very nice 250LM and a Daytona in the background P1500517 by G C, on Flickr P1500520 by G C, on Flickr In the back you can see the yellow Talbot-Lago, which was their first racing car P1500521 by G C, on Flickr P1500522 by G C, on Flickr A true work of art P1500523 by G C, on Flickr

Looks amazing... I really want to go... however I fear that I won't get the chance next year as it'll be the run up to a new Retro Rides event (which I thought I'd just pop in here to see who is paying attention). Classic Le Mans next year do it! Not sure if we'll do an 'offical' RR presence there, but I think we'll have some kind of thing going on.

My mate is racing there this weekend. He's driving this brown 911 in the 60s endurance category I think I'm going to have to do this event next time

In 3 words: great racing weekend. In more words: great racing weekend, spent with some friends and only a couple of disappointments. Biggest dissapointment being that this year, for the first time in 6 or 7 editions, we weren't allowed to enter with our bbq. "The organisers say you aren't allowed, sir". Unlike last year (when they wouldn't let us back in after 8 o'clock, while they raced untill midnight) there was no convincing the security at the gates. I'm sure we will find a way next year though Anyhow, I'm gonna start editing my photos but in the meantime I've already emptied my phone of its contents: When camping is life, but so is driving your sportscar to race events.

A wild RX7 appeared in the woods. The huge smoke plumes we saw earlier that day was either their bbq or that rx7, judges are still out on that one. (in reality, I loved it and was right behind it when entering the highway. The sound of that spinning dorito, oh my <3 ) IMG_20170521_103058 by G C, on Flickr Taking the BMW to get some breakfast in Malmedy IMG_20170521_103406 by G C, on Flickr IMG_20170521_121523 by G C, on Flickr We cruised together with this Tuscan and Cerbera to the circuit on saturday.

Had planned to go this year and subsequently every other year when CLM isn't on, but family illness prevented CLM last year and Spa this year - definitely need to go soon before it gets too "organised"

One of the highlights for me were the demo-runs of the "Endurance Legends", some of the fastest GT's from the last 20 years: first-gen Viper GTS-R, McLaren F1 GTR Longtail (Lark livery), Lamborghini Lp640 racer, Ferrari 550 racer, Maserati MC12, Venturi LM600. Although I prefer the legendary Oreca livery, this isn't too bad either. The difference in sound between the lazy V10 compared to the screaming Lambo 640 that was driving at the same time was hilarious, totally different but equally cool _DSC7550 bewerkt by G C, on Flickr
